Drugs Destroy Creativity

Drugs destroy Creativity

While some people may claim that using drugs helps expand their minds and creativity, it really doesn’t pan out that way.

Creativity is an something we all have. This sometimes gets dulled as the years go on. One experiences failures in life, to where they feel they can no longer create anything new. Add drug use to this and one eventually loses all hopes and dreams from which to create with. Imagination no longer exists and one becomes more and more stuck in the past.

When a person first begins to take drugs, they’re reality is distorted so they might feel this is a new burst of creativeness. But in fact drugs can scramble one’s memories and mix in delusional images, particularly those recorded while on drugs. This is not a conscious creativeness of new ideas but compulsive and usually below the persons awareness.

Drugs and alcohol turn off pain and unwanted sensations. They dull your senses and your mind, so in the long run your creative ability becomes less and less.

While someone may tell you that using marijuana, LSD, or many other drugs will enhance your creativity, eventually drugs destroy this ability.

Recovering a Creative New Outlook on Life

The Narconon program addresses the physical and mental aspects of addiction without the use of any substitute drugs. It starts with a drug-free withdrawal which uses nutrition and special exercises to assist and ease the pain and discomfort associated with coming off drugs or alcohol. Next is the New Life Detoxification program which eliminates the stored drug residues in the body that continue to plague a person even after they stop using. Many report after completing just this phase of the program that they can think more clearly and have a bright new outlook on life.
